October Sky

Exterior:

As you pull onto the gravel drive and parking area, the large two level cabin October Sky stands above overlooking the mountain side. The parking area is wide enough to easily turn most vehicles around. The gravel of the parking area surrounds the cabin creating a clean yard. In the front yard, behind a split rail fence, wait two chairs for you to spend a quiet evening in front of a stone fire pit watching the stars fill the sky over the mountain view. The front porch is just one step up from the gravel yard. More chairs wait to provide a peaceful spot to watch the sun paint the sky and mountain sides with colors and shadows. At the far end of the front porch sets the best way to start off a great romantic getaway, an out door hot tub with scenic views during the day and star filled sky at night. The second level also has a deck with chairs.

Additional amenities include: telephone for local or calling card calls only, fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, stone fire pit in yard, other features include central heat & air, non-smoking and is pet friendly, washer & dryer.TripAdvisor property ID 2122689 far end of the front porch sets the best way to start off a great romantic getaway, an out door hot tub with scenic views during the day and star filled sky at night.

Additional Location Information

Behind the Nantahala Outdoor Center, about 5 minutes along a back country mountain road sets the large 1 bedroom romantic cabin getaway, October Sky. The roads to the cabin are well maintained and generally easily driven by most vehicles. The area around the cabin is minimally developed and retains a peaceful natural setting. White water rafting and excellent restaurants are just a short drive back down to the Nantahala Rafting center. Mountain biking at the famous Tsali recreation center is around 15 minutes away. Bryson City and the Smoky Mountain National Park are a scenic 25 minute highway drive away. The Cherokee Indian Reservation entrance to the national park is another 10 to 15 minutes past Bryson City.

“Perfect getaway”

Left on 12/01/2013 for a stay in November 2013 | ChristySReviewed Dec 1, 2013Stayed Nov 2013

We call this our getaway cabin - this was our third stay in October Sky. The view is phenomenal, the cabin is clean, and we love the firepit! It is our chance to truly disconnect from hectic schedules...there is no wifi and cellular service is intermittent at best. We love playing foosball and pool, as well as using the hot tub with a view!

The only downside is you have to go into Bryson City to pay and pick up the access code for the house key. It would be much better if we could pay online (or phone) and have the code emailed as soon as we could access the cabin.

This is still a great place to go though. And the best part is we get a better discount each time we go back. Have to reserve early though if you want to go in peak season because it books up early.

“Picturesque View + Amazing Weekend”

Left on 09/10/2013 for a stay in August 2013 | EugenieReviewed Sep 10, 2013Stayed Aug 2013

There was a mix-up and our paperwork was not available from the Bryson City office when we arrived around 11pm, but we called and they ran right out with our envelope. I think this could be handled differently for those arriving after hours, just by sending all paperwork via email upon receipt of final payment. Although the windy roads were rather treacherous, once we arrived at the cabin we had found our little piece of heaven! From the spectacular views, the perfectly decorated interior, and outdoor spa we knew we had made the right choice. It was an amazing getaway from the rat race which included no wireless service, we got our chance to "get back to nature" and just stop and take in all that the area had to offer.

“Beautiful cabin, great stay!”

Left on 03/24/2013 for a stay in March 2013 | A FlipKey verified reviewerReviewed Mar 24, 2013Stayed Mar 2013

My husband and 1 year old and I stayed for a week. It was a great trip. The cabin is pretty secluded - you can see other cabins but they're not next to it. The view is phenomenal! The road to it was a bit nerve wracking when other cars are coming, but not terrible. The pictures are indicative of how beautiful the place really is. We have been to the area before and after this stay, we know we'll be coming again! We joked that if your biggest complaint was the bath towels were a little scratchy, then you've found a great place to stay! The drive to Bryson City was approximately 25 minutes or so. And about 5-10 minutes to the NOC.
